N.Y.’s New Governor Admits to AffairPosted on Mar 18, 2008
Before the media barracuda had time to really start swarming, Eliot Spitzer’s successor, Gov. David Paterson, preempted scurrilous investigations into his skeleton closet by tossing a big one out for all to see. As Paterson told the New York Daily News on Monday, he had a long-standing affair years ago during a rocky period in his marriage.

At this point time I’m wondering who didn’t have an affair?
I wish people would save their outrage for other things more worth while to be outraged about..
It’s all become more than a little bit silly..I don’t care one bit who did what to who.

Not to be outdone, the McGreevey saga nows contains episodes of a menage-a-trois which certainly adds a titillating aspect to extra-curricular sexual activities. Of course in McGreevey’s case it was two men to one woman which is anathema. Now two women to one man is art!!!

Honesty wins out every time in a long marriage having affairs have existed for a long time but once there are children in a marriage then a marriage cannot be thrown away, maybe that they both cheated on their other half was the difference neither one was more guilty than the other, but for the sake of the children they worked it out, if everyone had marriage councling probably more marriages could be saved.

An affair before he took office. That’s original.

They had a difficult period in their marriage. They both had affairs. They sought marriage counseling. They worked through the problems. They remained married - and came out stronger for it.
If only ALL couples did the same instead of just giving up when the rough times happen!
If there is a “story” here, it is a positive one about realizing that “for better, for worse” means just that: that a couple should at least TRY to work through the difficulties before simply walking away from the marriage.
Peace.
